Chapter 9

Have you ever lost a loved one? How did you handle it?

Great Reunion is a song I posted in conjunction with today’s chapter about how I ended up dealing with the loss of one of my best friends. I hope you find some encouragement in it. :)

Chapter 8 is posted, along with the song “The Language.” Here’s a rather embarrassing preview:

Chapter 7

Another chapter is posted. This one focuses on one of the major tragedies in my life: the death of our good friend Clay. Hero, again, is the song I chose to go along with it.

EVENTIDE is Here!

After a long year, I proudly present to you my new record, Eventide!

Grab the album on iTunes and Amazon.com! 

You can also get a digital download in the store for $8, as well as purchase a physical copy.

Back when we began the Kickstarter in April of 2011, I said that I wanted this project to be a team effort — and the more who joined the cause, the better. In the end, over 60 people backed the project financially, and a team of just over twenty folks worked creatively (often for much less in pay than they deserved) to make the project come together. I couldn’t be prouder of this project because of just that — that there were so many of you who were a part of it. Job well done, team!

Chapter 6 - "Hero"

Just posted Chapter 6 in Little Mountain — a story about baseball and a brotherhood on the brink of falling apart. The song “Hero” comes from the same story as this chapter, and will be the song of the week, as Chapter 7 on Friday will go along with it as well. 

Here is a picture of my friend Clay, whom both the chapters and the song are about:

Also, don’t forget — EVENTIDE DROPS TOMORROW, MAY 8TH! You can download the new album from iTunes, Amazon, or directly from my website. Thanks again for hearing and telling stories.

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 contrasts one of the darkest moments of my life with one of my brightest memories. The song “Abide With Me” — where I get the name of the album Eventide — came to my mind immediately because of its lyrics: “Through cloud and sunshine, abide with me.”

The cloud:

The sunshine:

Thanks for reading!
